George Folk Obituary
George Harold Folk, 84, of Findlay, passed away peacefully Monday, Feb. 27, 2023, at Mennonite Memorial Home, Bluffton.
He was born Sept. 12, 1938, in Findlay, to Earl E. and Mary N. (Corron) Folk. George married Lola Shafer and they divorced.
George was a 1957 graduate of Findlay High School. He was a typesetter at The Courier and retired after 44 years of service. George loved his family greatly. He had an unique sense of humor and would bring laughter to any occasion. George enjoyed his many hobbies including coin collecting, hunting rabbit, pheasant, and squirrel, taking his boat on Lake Erie, and he was an avid fisherman. George's passion in life was to golf. He played nearly every day, walking all 18 holes! George decorated a float for the 2015 Rose Bowl parade with the theme "Celebrate Family" and watched the game live with his sisters.
Left to cherish his memory are his sisters, Miriam (Jon) Kinnison of Mesquite, Nevada, Nancy Shinn of Santa Barbara, California, Patricia Folk of Santa Barbara, and Linda Folk of Prescott, Arizona. George was loved by many friends, family, and neighbors.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and two brothers, Edwin and Harlen Folk.
In keeping with George's wishes, there will be no funeral.

After reading these sweet from his dear family and friends, and after hearing some of their stories, I too am heartened by their confidence that george was well loved and that his life was well lived. I am happy for the love and joy he has brought to the world and for the freedom we know he is enjoying today.

There are so many happy memories of my sweet Uncle George! From early childhood at Grandma and Grandpa Folk's house to adulthood having coffee, dinner and taking walks in the park. My son Keith enjoyed playing golf with his Great Uncle and said he gave him a run for his money! My sweetheart nicknamed him Turbo George following him in the car one day lol! We shared a love of Kitties and his loving companion Shadow adored him. I'm blessed to have had such a wonderful Uncle and grateful for the quality time we had these last few weeks. Love and miss you Uncle George. Debie, Rusty and Keith
